I knew a "defne" (laurel oil) soap was produced in this town. As I like the Aleppo soap, which is also part laurel, part olive oil, I hoped to find some good ones. In this shop they had a 100% defne soap, as well as many other fragrant soaps. Elsewhere I bought 30 or 50% defne soaps. It is fattish to the extent that you can wash your hair with it, I love it.
